Thoroughly enjoyed this BenGoldacre savaging of the whole Blue Monday thing :D

Apparently, it began as a marketing spiel for getting people to think about holiday bookings, and was enthusiastically picked up by journalists and has seeped into public consciousness. It sort of feels like it ought to be a thing, because its all a bit dark and cold, but there’s no real reason behind choosing this one day it seems.

Well I managed yesterday on just 4 units of NR at breakfast and had a "free" apple and Nature Valley protein bar courtesy of my manure shifting work at lunchtime without bolus and had a very low carb dinner which I didn't bolus for either and still woke up on 3.8 this morning, so I am pretty chuffed at that. Toying with reducing my overnight basal by another unit but will see what the scores on the doors are tonight. Bolussed as soon as I tested this morning again and then ate an apple to deal with low whilst I prepped my breakfast and ate it straight away instead of waiting. I am currently 5.8, so this increased exercise really is making a big difference. Mind you, my back, legs and arms are feeling it a bit. Got more to deliver today though, so hopefully I will manage to keep levels low.

@khskel Can't believe you got another HS! Congrats. You really are on a roll!
 
Good morning 14.3😱had a granny smiths before bed and didn`t bolus for it big mistake.🙄 Made correction dose down to 4.1 just right for breakfast.🙂 A new phenomenon in Paignton this morning FROST😎 but a lovely sunny sky.🙂 Birthday party today (hic) so who knows what will happen, sea food on the menu including lobster and crayfish yum yum and local caught mussels in a garlic sauce.🙂
